Every time my boss talks to me she makes me feel stupid and feel like I don't know what I'm doing (when I do) How can I bring it up to talk to her about it. I can't take it anymore. I'm going to go off on her one day if I don't take care of it!

you should just straight up tell her how she is making you feel. Bosses should make sure their employees are happy if she doesnt change at all then i think you should find a new job and quit that one

perhaps your boss is really intelligent but she doesn't have good "people skills". some folks are blessed with brains but have no tact or diplomacy. what is it? the look on her face? the tone of her voice? she isn't calling you degrading names, is she?

Go to her on a "good day" and ask if you can visit with her for a few minutes at her convenience. When you do sit down with her, tell her that you really do enjoy your job and working for her, but it does stress you out when she addresses you in the manner she does. Cite a recent incident in which she made you feel stupid, and let her know that you value her input, and you're sure she doesn't mean to make you feel that way. Acknowledge that it may be partially you, just being sensitive, but that you wanted to bring it to her attention because it is creating stress for you in your work place. Also, let her know that you understand that she has a lot on her plate, and you just want to help make her job as easy as possible, and ask for any suggestions she can give you in doing so.

it could be your facial expression. or the way you stand while listening to her speak. she likes to talk down to you. maybe more eye contact with her. you could ask some specific questions to engage her in some smart talk. you could call in sick two days in a row and see if that helps.
